----------
A script may be used in conjunction with
[faces(1)](http://man.9front.org/1/faces) and the
[plumber(4)](http://man.9front.org/4/plumber) to open individual
messages (or the entire mailbox) by clicking mb1 on a face in the
[faces(1)](http://man.9front.org/1/faces) window. Each click produces
a new window containing the selected message.
The script:
[facemother](https://plan9.stanleylieber.com/rc/facemother) <- read
and modify as needed before using
The plumber rule:
# faces -> new mail window for message
type is text
data matches '[a-zA-Z¡-0-9_\-./]+'
data matches '/mail/fs/[a-zA-Z¡-0-9/]+/[0-9]+'
plumb to showmail
plumb start window -r 646 117 1366 676 facemother $0
